Hi,
For my patients I suggest surgery after 4 months of epidural shots failure after that decreasing weight and spinal straightening practices followed by surgery for unilateral
sciatica involves the removal of part of the disc, which is known as a
discectomy. While it results in short-term benefits, the long-term benefits appear to be equivalent to conservative care like NSAIDS, steroids, muscle relaxants,
physiotherapy and massages with topical gels and even Yoga is helpful.
Treatment of the underlying cause of the compression is needed in cases of
epidural abscess, epidural tumors, and cauda equina syndrome. Nowadays stemcell
implantation and other minor endoscopic interventions are made
Hope the above information helps you. Any further clarifications feel free to ask.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Ahmed Aly Hassan
